we'll get the scoop from courtney hazlett and, courtney, i understand your twitter page is affected. >> my twitter page was affected, white house press secretary robert gibbs, his page was affected. this has been fixed now, but in the earlier hours of the morning here on the east coast, thousands of users were affected with this virus and this is what happened. it was an attack that was made possible because of the main twitter interface. in other words, twitter.com didn't disallow a java script, it didn't disallow that and so when you just rolled your mouse over a link, it was the same as clicking on link. >> okay. >> so, if you were using something like tweet deck or one of the third party twitter users, you were fine, but if you were like me and actually went to twitter.com, you might have gotten this virus. twitter has already issued a statement earlier saying that we have identified and we're apatching the attack. it is now fixed, but there were more than 70 million tweets sent out every single day. for a security breach to even take place, it becomes a head scratcher wondering
